Unwanted guest

From Bisnis Indonesia

On Oct. 25, 1995, at about 12:30 p.m. a mute woman came to our office unexpectedly. She had short hair and a freckle on her face, looked smart and carried a handbag. She had a letter bearing her name: Yantis. The letter said that the woman needed money for bus fare to Surabaya, East Java. She also had a piece of paper that was signed by a district head (which district was not clear) certifying that the woman needed Rp 20,000 for her journey to Surabaya.

We had never had such a visitor before and we took pity on her. I collected some money from my colleagues and gave it to her. Later I checked with security to learn whether they had seen the woman. I was told that some time ago a similar case occurred. The receptionist on the other floor also confirmed the incident. The same woman (but then with long hair) came to the office for the same purpose.

I believe that someone has used her as a means of collecting money by cheating people.

Be warned!
